The Schematic Options dialog can be opened from Schematic Editor's Edit Menu and provides a large number of options to customize the appearance and functionality of the Schematic Editor to your personal preference. The dialog has three tabs: Display, General and Print.
The Schematic Display section allows you to customize the appearance of the schematic. "Show Grid" turns the schematic grid on or off. "Show Schematic Border" toggles the top and left location borders. "Show Page Boundaries" shows the printed page boundaries as a dashed line. The printed page size and orientation can be changed from the "File > Page Setup" menu. "Show Title Box" toggles the Title Block for each page. "Show Node Names" toggles whether or not node data is displayed. This is useful for associating data from simulation results with actual nodes in the circuit. All these toggle functions can also be accessed from respective buttons on the Schematic Editor's Toolbar. The "Text Field Font" button sets the font properties for text drawn with the Text Tool. The "Segment Color" and "Vertex Color" buttons are used to customize what colors the wires and vertices are shown in. The node names/node voltages/branch current/power fonts buttons control the various fonts used for the State Display fonts.

<b>General Tab</b>
The Digital Probe and Timing Diagram section controls options for the display of digital signals. You chose between Use (1,0)" or "Use (H,L)" for logic levels, which is used by the Probe Tool to display logic levels on the wires and device pins. The section titled Symbols for New Parts affects new parts that you place in your circuits only. There are three standards to choose from. IEEE symbols are only for the digital parts. US and European symbols are the same in most cases, but differ for resistors and many digital gates and flip-flops.
